A bootable version of a remastered Knoppix 3.6 exists. Some finetuning and the package-selection has to be done in the next days/weeks. A first official version will be available in september/october 2004. Please report wishes (e.g. on included software) to us!

10.07.2004

We have made some more design-decisions. Due to lack of time we changed our goal from creating a distribution from scratch/source based to building a distribution based on debian/knoppix. We don't want to reinvent the wheel (:=hardware-recognition, packetmanagement,..) so we try to use existing infrastructure and improve things we don't like that much.

October 2003 - Juli 2004

We collected ressources for building a new distribution (many ideas, websites,...). We created a vmware-image based on yard, wrote some zsh-scripts (zsh will be the default-shell of grml) and wrote a first (unpublished) design-guide.
